As all modules are compulsory, there is no need to register any module
options, but
students should
check that their
modules are correctly recorded at the student portal.

Papers are set on a majority of modules at the annual
examination (held in April/May). The mark for these modules may also
incorporate credit for assessed work throughout the academic year as
prescribed by the lecturers concerned. (For further information on
assessment, consult the individual module descriptions.)

Results for examinations are published according
to the following grades: I = 70 to 100, II.1 = 60 to 69,
II.2 = 50 to 59, III = 40 to 49, F.1 = 30 to 39,
F.2 = 0 to 29.

In order to pass an individual module, students must attain
a mark of at least 40%.

In order to pass at the annual or supplemental examination
students must either

pass in each module,
OR

pass by compensation, which is possible in two ways:

Obtain a credit weighted average of at least 40% AND
pass modules totalling at least 50 credits AND have at least 35% in
the remaining module(s), or

Obtain a credit weighted average of at least 40% AND
pass modules totalling at least 55 credits AND have at least 30% in
the remaining module.

Students who do not either pass or pass by compensation at the
annual examinations must supplement in all failed modules (at
examinations held in August/September).
Supplemental results are assessed by the same regulations as at the
annual examinations, based on the modules passed at the annual
examination session together with the
results at the supplemental session.

Students who do not attend regularly, who are absent from
tests and examinations without good cause
may be returned to the Senior
Lecturer's office as non-satisfactory for the relevant term.
Non-satisfactory students may be refused permission to take
their annual examination and may be required to repeat their
year by the Senior Lecturer.
